"My home lies in a small clearing just beyond that bend," says the gnome.  As they make their way deeper into the tunnel, Thuvian suddenly hears an odd sound, like the scraping of a foot in the gravel.  Looking to his right, he sees three small forms huddled in the darkness.  "Ambush!" he cries.  From there, many things happen at once.Quick as a flash, the gnome waves his hands, and disappears from the spot he was standing; it seems this fight is yours alone.  The three figures Thuvian spotted emerge from the shadows, enough so that the group gets a good look at their ugly blue faces.  Almost in tandem, the three launch a trio of darts at the tiefling; to his dismay, all three find their mark.  They're small enough that their individual wounds are slight, but the collective effect is nonetheless lethal.  Simultaneously, another trio of ugly blue creatures emerges to the group's left.  Two of them take swipes at Arianna with their daggers, but miss their mark.  The third attempts to throw another dart, but isn't nearly as successful as his compatriots; the dart soars over her head and clatters harmlessly against the far wall.[sblock=Knowledge (Nature) DC 10]You identify the creatures as evil fey known as Mites.[sblock=Knowledge (Nature) DC 15]You recall that Mites have minor damage resistance to common weapon materials, and possess a spell-like ability that allows them to unnerve their foes, which can impair one's abilities.  [sblock=Knowledge (Nature) DC 20]<a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/fey/mite" target="_blank">You know quite a bit about mites.</a>[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Crunch]I didn't get a perception roll for Thuvian, so I rolled one myself: natural 20.  Thuvian takes 5 damage.  Kind of makes me feel guilty; I never roll that good.Gnome casts Invisibility; he's a-runnin'.  Think that covers it; you're up, gang.[/sblock][sblock=Map]My apologies about the grid; forgot to call it up before I laid everything out, which accounts for the funky numbers.  Didn't think it was enough of a problem to warrant shifting everything.<img src="http://rayevanoff.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/cave-map.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
